Bermudian cyclist Conor White is set to officially kick off his 2026 season with British outfit JAKROO Handsling Racing this weekend, as the team hosts its official launch event in London.
The team's highly anticipated unveiling will take place on Friday, January 16th, providing fans and partners with an exclusive first look at the squad and its ambitions for the upcoming racing calendar. The Roubaix London Bicycle Workshop will serve as the hub for the festivities, where White will join his new teammates, management, and key sponsors to mark the start of what promises to be an exciting year.
Following the formal launch, the team will hit the road for a challenging 100-kilometer "Team Ride Out" on Saturday, January 17th. This public event offers a unique opportunity for cycling enthusiasts to meet the riders, roll alongside them, and experience firsthand the camaraderie and preparation that defines a professional cycling team. Fans are encouraged to come out, show their support, and be part of the initial momentum for JAKROO Handsling Racing.
For White, the move to a prominent British team represents a significant step in his professional development. After a breakout 2025 season that saw him claim multiple podium finishes in regional races and represent Bermuda on the international stage, the opportunity to compete with a strong, well-supported squad will be crucial for his continued progression.
The 2026 season is expected to be a demanding one, with JAKROO Handsling Racing targeting a comprehensive calendar of races across the UK and Europe. White’s versatility as a strong time trialist and a capable climber will make him a key asset for the team as they navigate various terrains and competition formats.
With the launch just days away, the Bermudian talent will be eager to impress and lay down a marker for a year that could see him further solidify his position in the international peloton. The team is calling on all cycling fans to join them in London to witness the beginning of what they hope will be "something special" in British cycling.
